Boosted Aerial Up B - Increase your horizontal distance by an inch.

[PHYTO-1]

Using your Up B out of an aerial, airdodge or even counter in rare cases, will give your Up B the added boost forward that it normally sees when used on the ground. You can buffer it out of getting footstooled- so don't waste frames on a nair*.

Test it out yourself- jump then up-b vs jump then nair to up-b. you'll see the difference.

So just nair to Up B and youll get a slightly better recovery every time! yay

Note: not too sure how this works but the game seems to check if mac has done any actions while airborne- if he has then he gets a boost.
What actions give him a boost?
- Aerials (includes neutral b and counter)
- bumping your head against the ceiling
- getting footstooled
- getting knockback
- item throw**
- airdodge**

IMPORTANT:
*Using a jump- be it double jump, footstool, walljump (/tech) will reset the game's "action check" (see above list) and you will need to perform a proper action to get the boost again.
*Buffering Up-B out of an airdodge or item throw will not give the boost- you must wait past the buffer window

Also- useful for killing with Up B! get a surprise kill with the slight boost.
Ex: you get juggled near the ceiling but opponent fails to connect their attack- you can try to pop them with boosted up b.

hopefully this raw replay can make it clear as to what im saying

Seems to work with side b too by the tiniest margin.

However doing a reverse up is hindered accordingly but seeing as how this is for recovery it will most likely always be used going forward and not reversed.

hmm i could never tell if i was going further or not-i didnt want to post it without a good video to prove it. but i came up with a set up to show it. thanks for helping! changing the meta one inch at a time.

in the video i do regular non boosted side b and i grab the ledge . (3 times)

-then i finally do boosted side b and it puts me past the auto-grab window to which I then die

also- you can do dtilt > FH fair > up b or (platform shark) FH fair > up B. doesnt work as a kill confirm unless you do it on the top of BF or dreamland. just for damage
